The 2012-2013 Penn State basketball schedule features the typical Big Ten schedule as well as some great out-of-conference games. Penn State this year has OOC games with Boston College, Duquesne, Bucknell, and will play NC State and either Providence or UMass in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off tournament in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The Big Ten as usual will be one of the top conferences in the country as Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, and Wisconsin are all pre-season top 25 teams. In fact Indiana is the nation's pre-season #1 and Ohio State and Michigan are in the top 5. This means a grueling Penn State schedule but some great matchups.
